Anyone used these filters?

I purchased one at my last oil change because I heard they were excellent, but I feel it may be contributing to an oil issue. at every start up, the oil pressure light comes on as normal and then goes out, but it will come back on for a second then go back out. It has only done this since the last oil change. I am going to change it to the honda OEM filter and see if that was the issue, but wondering if anyone else had issues with this filter. It may be another problem like a worn engine or pump or even a bad oil pressure switch, but with the cheap filter, I can swap that in.

I've only used a napa gold once, but i use wix all the time, and they're the exact same things. Never had any problems with the oil light. Are you using 5w-20?

no I use 5w-30. I have been using it for awhile now. I have always contimplated about going back to 5w-20, but with 121K miles, 5w-30 seems right.

I've used Napa filters for awhile and they are great. I'm sure you're oil issue has nothing to do with the filter.

But oil pressure does. It also affects the oil pump. I'd try running 5w-20 on your next oil change. Easier on your oil pump and better flow at startup.

I may try that. It seems if I turn the key to the on position and hold it there for a few seconds before starting the problem doesnt occur.

nappa filters are what we carry when some car other than a honda comes into the shop. That should give you some piece of mind

I dont have any fuel issue. just once in a while when turning the car on, oil light comes back on for a second then goes out.

already have checked the oil level and its correct. What I need to do is hook up a oil pressure tester and see what its doing at startup. that way I will have more of an idea.

Just thought the filter may be an issue as it only started doing this after the last oil change.
